The goal of the game is to build the most impressive jewel trade and
become the best-known merchant in the world. The player with the most
prestige points wins the game.

Splendor is an addictive strategy turn-based card game, where players
assume the role of wealthy Renaissance merchants, exploiting mines and
caravans, hiring craftsmen and leveraging their influence with the
nobility. The goal is to get the biggest gem network and become the most
influential merchant.

Splendor recreates the exact look and feel of the best-selling board
game Splendor which is a global hit, selling more than 200,000 copies in
30 countries and winning numerous awards (Golden Geek 2014 Board Game,
Family Game of the Year, Origins Game of the Year, 2014 Meeples Choice).

Official adaptation of the board game created by Space Cowboys.

period.

Excellent interactive tutorial to teach the game and digital interface.

Achievements board.

Worldwide leaderboards by connecting with a Days of Wonder account.

“Renaissance” graphical and musical ambiance.

Splendor introduces a special game mode, called Challenges. Challenges
are like chess puzzles. They put the player in a preset situation and
challenge him or her to achieve a specific goal. The goal could be a
number of points to earn, or a special card or combination to collect.
Some goals need to be accomplished in a limited number of turns or in a
limited time. Some goals could be trying to stick to an ideal path.

Challenges are delivered in packs of 6. Each pack is labelled after a
place on the globe: "Madrid", "Sahara", "Istanbul". With the 3 packs
included in game, you have 18 challenges to master.
